With this understood, I am looking for networking opportunities in which  I can learn perhaps attend an auction or two and give me the 101 on the area and a few experiences, good and bad~ not SPOON feed me.

you can't just ask people and expect them to spoon feed you.

I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth like most you investors I started with nothing and know what it takes to make something out of nothing I'm 25 I own my own home and 2 apartment buildings have flipped 4 houses not to mention building and selling 5 hot rods.

Sometimes I eat two table spoons of honey because they say it helps your sinuses, but really I just like honey and money :)I graduated from the University of Colorado about a year ago with a B.S. in Finance and a Real Estate certificate.

There were two highways that ran through the town with a popular hamburger joint, greasy spoon.

Im not looking for someone to spoon feed me realty 101.

Promise I am no guru and I did not start out with a silver spoon in my mouth. 

Businesses owners should not be expected to be spoon feed like children.

Thanks @Aaron Yates If people want to be spoon-fed all the answers and look for no-brainers, then perhaps real estate investing is not for them.They need to calculate risks and opportunities for themselves and understand that real estate is just one way to secure their future - but not the only way.Or, they should find a different way to make money in real estate without committing a significant portion of their own funds--such as wholesaling or partnerships or REITs.

For those that say things like "You shouldn't even be thinking of investing in real estate" just in case you're unaware some people are having a hard time financially everyone isn't born with a silver spoon in their mouth or even middle class.
